EXCLUSIVE: Cyber expert says his team can’t prove Mike Lindell’s claims that China hacked election
The cyber expert on the “red team” hired by MyPillow CEO
Mike Lindell now says the key data underpinning the theory that
China hacked the 2020 election unveiled at the Cyber Symposium is illegitimate.
Mr.
Lindell said
he had 37 terabytes of “irrefutable” evidence that hackers, who
he said were backed by
China, broke into election systems and switched votes in favor of President Biden. The proof, he said, is visible in intercepted network data or “packet captures” that were collected by hackers and could be unencrypted to reveal that a cyberattack occurred and that votes were switched.
But cyber expert Josh Merritt, who is on the team hired by Mr.
Lindell to interrogate the data for the symposium, told The Washington Times that packet captures are unrecoverable in the data and that the data, as provided, cannot prove a cyber incursion by
China.
“So our team said, we’re not going to say that this is legitimate if we don’t have confidence in the information,” Mr. Merritt said on Wednesday, the second day of the symposium.
